Lazarus: Being Labeled A Terrorist After 9/11 (Part 5)

Lazarus (also known as Dr. Khan) is a rapper and doctor from Detroit, Michigan. In this clip, he opens up about his father not accepting his desire to pursue rap early on, largely because there was no representation of Pakistani Americans succeeding in hip-hop. He speaks on growing up with immigrant parents who came to America seeking a better future and pushed their children toward prestigious, traditional careers. Lazarus then reflects on the racism he faced after 9/11, when he was told his rap career was over before it even began. He recalls being labeled a terrorist and confronted with hateful comments like “look what your people did to our country” and “what are you doing here,” highlighting how that moment changed everything for him and many others. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMNIwa6NF_wMMDsAXfI4WNg?sub_confirmation=1 -------------------------- Disclaimer: The primary purpose of PANDA CHOP!
